LAVA Iris Pro 30 Review
Score: 50.1 / 100
LAVA Iris Pro 30 is a not so powerful Android cellphone, which features a 4.7 inches multi touch display, an exceptional 1200 MHz Quad-Core processing unit, and 2 cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 3 mega-pixels front side camera. Let's take a deeper sight of what this device offers to us.
Lava sells this phone with an extremely powerful 1.2 gigahertz Quad-Core processor with only 1 GB of RAM which is a little disappointing for a device this good. Graphic calculations usually uses lots of CPU processing time, so it has an extra PowerVR SGX544 graphics processing unit running at 384 MHz to take care of them, leaving the processor free for other tasks. This cellphone has a 4 GB internal storage memory, a passable quantity that should be fine for most users considering that this cellphone also has an SD extension slot .
Lava did a very nice design job making the LAVA Iris Pro 30 weight just 4.02 ounces. This cellphone is just 0.3 inches thick, making its way into the thinnest phones podium. This cellphone just has 5.43 inches long and 2.63" wide, but it's still able to fit a a 4.7" display. This cellphone is available in 2 colors, black and gray.
Lava packed this phone with a completely amazing 4.7 inches screen, and a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD), which makes everything look absolutely perfect. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.
The LAVA Iris Pro 30 includes wifi connection (but it can't be shared with other devices acting as a hotspot) and 3G connection type, using UMTS and EDGE technologies. This device comes with 2 SIM cards to be able to to work with two different phone numbers in the same cellphone.
The LAVA Iris Pro 30 features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 3 megapixels front-facing camera. Additionally, the camera counts with flash and HDR mode.
This cellphone also includes a handful of cool features like Bluetooth (4.0), GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This cellphone comes with a 2000 mAh medium capacity Li-Polymer replaceable battery that provides this cellphone a quite short battery duration comparing with other similar phones. According to Lava, the LAVA Iris Pro 30 has an aproximate 400 hs stand by time and a 7.5 hours talk time.
This phone is really overvalued considering it costs $ 249, and other similar phones cost much less than that.
